Welcome to our Sausage and Cider Raceday and a particularly warm welcome to our sponsors today, QuinnBet, 4 Oaks Group, Robert Beech, Caldwell Filtration, Abode Estate Agents and Jim & Claire Bryce.
Today you will be able to try a delicious variety of Sausages and Ciders from our dedicated cider bar and food units which are located outside of the office near the parade ring
We also have the 3rd running of our sausage eating contest If you would like to be considered for entry, please head to the main office and fill in one of our forms 8 people will be selected at random to compete for the coveted Golden Sausage Trophy. The winner will also receive a table for 2 in the 1907 restaurant for another meeting
And new for this year, the winner will be the first person to top our Arena Racing Leaderboard, with 7 other competitions being held at our sister courses throughout the year All winners will be invited to Bath Racecourse for the grand finale on Saturday 13th Sept for their Sausage and Cider festival featuring the Wurzels. They will receive food and drinks vouchers for the day for up to 10 people and the National winner will receive two ARC annual passes and a table for 10 at their home track plus legendary status!!!
A big thank you to all who attended our Midlands Grand National meeting 2 weeks ago. The day was a huge success all round and the feedback from our customers has been excellent. For that I would like to thank my hardworking and dedicated team on both sides of the running rail.
We added over 600 people onto the previous year’s gate, and we have now seen a 20% increase in attendance on the day over the last 2 years, which I believe is a great sign for the track, especially in a time where decreased attendances in racing has been in the spot light!
We now have a little break in racing and return in May for the start of our busy summer period We have some great entertainment lined up for some of our feature meetings. Kicking off on Saturday 3rd May for our 80’s raceday featuring the Staffordshire Plate.
Don’t rush home tonight as we have the ever-popular Radio Murphy to entertain you for an hour after racing in the Premier Bar where all customers can gain access after the last race
I do hope you have a wonderful day with us here today and thank you for attending.
Be Lucky!!

Having seen out his race well back over 2m last time, RULER LEGEND makes appeal in first-time cheekpieces with the stable’s promising conditional jockey taking off a valuable 8lb riding against fellow conditionals. Remarkable Flight arrives on the back of a victory and there could well be further improvement to come, while the lightly-raced Fat Harry is respected having shown his best form to date over a longer trip earlier this month.

RANGE hasn’t built on his decisive all-the-way Chepstow success in three subsequent starts in this sphere, largely owing to some sketchy jumping, but he has been keeping good company and this represents a golden opportunity for the 8-y-o to get back on track. The clear main danger is King Arise, who hasn’t done a great deal wrong since switched to fences, whereas Georgi Girl hasn’t looked a natural over the larger obstacles so far and Coqolino is 0-17 in this sphere.

Cases can be made for several, but the suggestion is DOUBLE CLICK, who arrives on the back of a career-best effort after pulling clear with an unexposed winner at Ffos Las just over 7 weeks ago. He can regain the winning thread at the expense of Clondaw Royale, who has remained in from since his Haydock success back in December Party Business, Risk d’Argent and Paddy O’Mahler are just a handful of others to consider, too.

This has the look of a warm bumper. The Dan Skelton stable has mopped up in similar races this season so his debutant DOUBLE MEASURE is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Last month’s Hereford 2-3 Emerald Warrior and Donttellyamumjack should figure, while the fact that Walk In The West went off at 4/1 for a 16-runner listed race on debut suggests he’s thought to be a lot better than he showed on that occasion. There are also other interesting newcomers to monitor in the betting.
